I can definitely see the Christian in you.No, I like just pointing out that god is the creator of the universe and have people understand that, even though he set us up as a reproducing race, he ultimately should get credit for giving us life. I use analogies if people refuse to see that plain logic.
Quote:Why would your god banish me from heaven if I don't hate my family? That's kind of extreme and selfish isn't it?You can't be banished from heaven until you're in heaven, and you're not in heaven, so this doesn't make sense.

Or would that be frowned upon?If they hadn't deeded it to the family, sure, they could do that. Interestingly I just spoke to a guy yesterday who had to evict tenants from a rental property because they were trashing the place. Now he's considering whether it's more practical to repair the building or just remove it and sell the lot. All within his rights.
Quote:Now, imagine Greg built the house out of materials that occur in nature, and then Fred's friend John walked up and demanded that Fred provided those materials, without providing any evidence, and against all rationality, and then tells the poor family moving in that, someday, Fred will come to smash down the house and kill the people living in it, because that's his right. He made the house, after all.Sorry, lost the analogy. Can you clarify?
